    For Case 1:

    If start date = month(today()) - 1: use TotalMTD function

    For Case 2: 

    If the start date and end date are both part of the same month simply the difference in the dates can work.

     

    For case 3:[Bit unclear]

    This should go similarly to case 1 by using TotalMTD from 1st March till date.

    Hi ChiragGarg2512 , _AAndrade ,thank you for your replies, I'll add further.

    Hi GS10 ,

    The Table data is shown below:

    Please follow these steps:
    1. Use the following DAX expression to create a table

     

    Table 2 = CALENDAR(DATE(2024,3,1),DATE(2024,3,31))

     

    2.Creating table-to-table relationships

    3.Use the following DAX expression to create a measure

     

    Duration =
    VAR _a =
        SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Start Date] )
    VAR _b =
        SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[End Date] )
    VAR _c =
        MIN ( 'Table 2'[Date] )
    VAR _d =
        MAX ( 'Table 2'[Date] )
    VAR _e =
        IF (
            MONTH ( _a ) = 2
                && MONTH ( _b ) = 3,
            DATEDIFF ( DATE ( 2024, 3, 1 ), _b, DAY ),
            IF (
                _a >= _c
                    && _b <= _d,
                DATEDIFF ( _a, _b, DAY ),
                IF (
                    _b = BLANK ()
                        && CALCULATE ( MONTH ( MAX ( 'Table'[Start Date] ) ) = 2, ALL ( 'Table 2' ) ),
                    DATEDIFF (
                        CALCULATE ( MAX ( 'Table'[Start Date] ), ALL ( 'Table 2' ) ),
                        DATE ( 2024, 3, 1 ),
                        DAY
                    )
                )
            )
        )
    RETURN
        _e
    

     

    4.Final output
